#48. ODD NUMBER OF RAKA’AATS FOR NIGHT PRAYER
Asalamualaikum wa Ramatullahi wa barakatuhu.
1. Admin pls about midnight prayer is it mandatory to be odd number.
2. Wat about some those that do not observe shaa’ fi and witril but do observe midnight prayer, Is there any thing wrong?”
ANSWER
Alhamdulillaah it isn’t obligatory to observe odd number of raka’aat for Qiyaamu Al-layl. Rather, it is an emphatic sunnah of the Rasul – salallaahu alayhi wasallam.
Allaahu A’alam
Baarakallaahu feekum
Jazaakumullaahu khayran.
